"Mr. President, one year has passed since the largest phase of the enlargement of the European Union. Ten new states which had gone through the painful experience of Soviet occupation and were just recently called countries in a transitional market economy, joined the European Union internal market with the four essential freedoms of the market: free movement of persons, services, goods and capital. After one year of work experience in the conditions of the internal market, the statistics of the new states on transposition of the directives related to the internal market proves that the newcomers quite successfully implemented their commitments. In particular, I would like to highlight the progress of Lithuania, the country where I have been elected to the European Parliament. Lithuania is the best amongst the new Member States and better than most of more experienced old Member States at implementing the
of the internal market. One such successful indicator was the Protocol on Conformity Assessment and Acceptance of Industrial Products, recommended by the European Commission to the candidate countries as an instrument for preparation to work under the conditions of the internal market. Many countries successfully implemented the directives of the new approach a year before EU membership, but here we talk about the successful implementation of the free movement of goods. A different situation occurs while implementing the movement of services and persons. Revisions of the directive on services, having eliminated the principle of origin, impede the development of the internal market of services. It remains fragmentary, restricted and protected. Talking about the free movement of persons, I would like to remind you that according to the request of the old Member States the transitional period of seven years is applied to the new Member States. Only a few states have opened their labour markets since the enlargement. Therefore, I invite the Parliament, the European Commission and especially the Member States, without postponing the decisions for an indefinite time, to create a fully functional internal market and thus provide real possibilities for implementation of the Lisbon strategy. Thank you."@en1
